| Additional information |
Davyd of Garadzen was a 14th-century Belarusian prince and military commander, venerated in the Orthodox Church as a saint following his murder in 1326 — allegedly poisoned and stabbed by agents of Teutonic or Polish rivals, though the precise culprits remain disputed by historians. This coin belongs to a larger Belarus circulation commemorative series issued in the mid-2000s honoring figures from medieval Ruthenian history, a project with an explicit nation-building purpose as the country worked to define a distinct historical identity separate from broader Russian or Soviet narratives.
